The Institute will be open evenings from October 18 to 22 
for the registration and classification of candidates for admis- 
sion to evening classes. Applicants will be enrolled in the 
classes which they are prepared to enter in the order of their

given on Monday and Thursday evenings, and lectures on 
Friday evenings. No. 778 Madison Street will be open asa 
reading room Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. 

The cost of tuition is five dollars for the session of five 
months. On the payment of the tuition fee a ticket will be 
issued, entitling the holder to class instruction Monday and 
Thursday evenings, admission to Friday evening lectures, and 
the use of the Institute library and reading-room.

CLASS INSTRUCTION. 


INTRODUCTORY. 


Any course of instruction offered day students will be 
repeated at night if the demand is such as to justify the forma- 
tion of a class. Provision has also been made for such instruc- 
tion as will enable young men and women, who are employed 
during the entire day, to continue their education along those 
lines that will be of the most service to them in the work in 
which they are engaged. 


The following courses of instruction are outlined on the 
basis of work done last year and applications already made for 
work for the present year:

making, moulding, cabinet and carpentry work. Section lim- 
ited to thirty-two. 


2. Mechanical Drawing:—The use of instruments in

,Oo'" 


3. Machine Drawing:—Instruction in proportioning detail 
parts of machinery, laying out gear teeth, cams, and simple 
linkages. Practice in the use of the engineer’s hand-books. 
Adapted to the needs of young draftsmen and machinists. 
Section limited to sixteen. 


4. Architectural Drawing:—Designed to secure facility 
in making general and detail drawings of buildings, plain cab- 
inet work, stair building, framing, etc. Section limited to six- 
teen. 


5. structural Iron Work:—The designing of structures, 
and practice in the methods employed by rapid designers. 
Arranged especially for engineers, draftsmen, and foremen, 
who wish to make improvement in this important branch of 
modern industry. Section limited to sixteen. 


6. Machine Designing:—Instruction to be individual in 
character and devoted to the designing of special machines, 
taking into consideration efficiencies and cost of construction. 
Adapted especially to men wishing to design improvements 
on existing machines or to design new ones involving their 
own invention. Section limited to sixteen. 


7, Machine Work:—The use of ordinary hand tools 
together with the engine lathe, shaper, planer, drill press, uni- 
versal milling machine, universal grinding machine, and screw 
machine with wire feed. The work done will be in the line of 
general machine construction, the making and tempering of 
such tools as taps, reamers and milling cutters—the cutting of 
spear, spiral and bevel gears, and screw machine work. 
Designed for apprentices and young machinists who have had 
some experience in machine shop work. Section limited to 
twelve. 


8. Testing of Materials:—Tensile, transverse, and com- 
pressive tests of materials used in machine construction and 
building. This course will include the study of the character- 
istics of the materials, and the working up of the results ob- 
tained for available use. The work should be especially 
valuable to designers and those having charge of constructive 
work. 


9. Testing and Use of Engine Room Appliances:—This 
will include the testing of indicator springs, steam gauges, 
meters, injectors, and thermometers; valve setting, use of 
some form of calorimeter, and observations made in boiler 
testing. 


10. Freehand Drawing:—A course in charcoal, pen, pencil 
and wash drawing, designed to lay a foundation for the study 
of art; suited to the needs of teachers in public schools. 


SCIENCE. 
Henry B. Kummel, Ph. D., - Asst. Prof. in Physiography. 
Charles W. Carman, - - - Asst. Prof. of Physics. 
Warren R. Smith, Ph.D. - . Instructor in Chemistry. 
Evelyn Reeves, B. S., - - - Instructor in Cooking. 
Fred A. Rogers, B. S., - - - - Instructor in Physics. 
Elizabeth Cooke, Ph.D. — - - - Instructor in Biology. 
J. Bishop Tingle, Ph. D., - - Instructor in Chemistry. 
George FH. Paltridge, - : - Intructor in Photography. 


1. General Physics:—Measurements of length, volume 
and mass. Properties of solids, hydrostatics, pneumatics and 
general dynamics. Frictional electricity and heat; sound, 
light, and current electricity. 


2. Electricity:—An elementary course. 


3. Electrical Measurements:—In this course the time of 
the student will be occupied with measurements of resistance, 
current, electro-motive force, quantity and capacity, temper- 
ature co-efficients, self and mutual induction, and magnetism. 


4. General Chemistry, in which the fundamental prin- 
ciples of the science are taught by means of experimental lect- 
ures, class-room recitations, and practical work in the labora- 
tory. 

5. Geology:—The course in Geology is designed partic- 
ularly for those who desire an insight into the processes of 
nature by which the surface of the earth is modified. No 


4 


attempt will be made to cover the whole field of geologic 
science, but emphasis will be placed upon those phases which 
explain the development of the earth’s topography. This in- 
cludes a careful study of the work of the atmosphere, weather, 
wind, running water, waves and ice, as well as of the internal 
forces which manifest themselves in earthquakes, volcanoes, 
and changes in level of the earth’s crust. By the aid of lan- 
tern slides and topographic maps, as well as of relief models, 
the geographic development of type localities will be studied. 
A knowledge of geologic processes is essential to a rational 
understanding of geography and this course will be helpful to 
teachers of geography and nature study. 

4. Meteorology:—In case there is a demand to warrant 
it, a course in Elementary Meteorology and Climatology will 
be given. This will include a study of the atmosphere, its 
constitution, temperature, winds and storms, clouds and pre- 
cipitation; weather, weather-maps and climate. The course will 
be an aid to nature study teachers, as well as to those who 
wish to gain a clearer conception of the laws which control 
weather and climate. A part of the instruction will be in the 
nature of laboratory work. 

5. Photography:—Practical work will be continuous 
throughout the course. The principles of Physics and Chem- 
istry will be taught sufficiently to enable students to work 
understandingly and to overcome difficulties. The instructor 
was formerly a student in the University of Michigan and is at 
present an operator at J. K. Stephens & Son’s studio. 

6. Hygiene:—Bacteria and their relation to disease; the 
preservation and sterilization of foods; disinfection of houses; 
isolation of invalids, etc. Ventilation, heating and lighting of 
houses; the choice of food and clothing; the care of the skin, 
eyes, etc. The modern results of public sanitation. 

7. Cooking Course for Housekeepers:—Lessons in the 
preparation and cooking of vegetables, eggs, meat, cereals, 
stews, soups, sauces, puddings, breads, cakes, desserts, fish 
and fowls; salads, croquettes, entrées, frozen creams and ices, 
fancy cakes and souffles; fruit canning and jelly making; the 
preparation and serving of a luncheon, and a dinner.
